Good news: 23 House Dems oppose Obamacare

The bad news is that that still leaves Speaker Pelosi with 15 votes to spare out of her 256-member caucus. She only needs 218 votes to pass a bill. The Hill has details. Reid, Pelosi, and Obama are still puching the bill with urgency.

BETTER NEWS: According to a Drudge source, "At least 44 more moderate Members of the Democrat Caucus have gone on the record in opposition to the current health care bill in the House, a Hill source claims. Likewise, at least 57 liberal Members of the Democrat Caucus have gone on the record saying they will vote against a health care bill without a strong public option."
